Major Rewards Offered to Dismantle Hive Ransomware Group

Unveiling a Significant Bounty

In a bold move to combat cybercrime, the U.S. Department of State has announced a substantial reward of up to $10 million for information leading to the identification or location of key leaders within the Hive ransomware group. An additional reward of up to $5 million is offered for information leading to the arrest or conviction of individuals attempting to engage in Hive ransomware activities. Global Impact of Hive Ransomware The Hive ransomware variant has left its mark on over 80 countries, targeting countless victims, including those within the United States. Since late July 2022, the FBI's successful infiltration into Hive's networks has prevented potential ransom payments estimated at $130 million, offering a glimmer of hope to victims worldwide.

A Coordinated Crackdown

This announcement is part of a concerted effort by the U.S. Department of Justice, alongside Europol and authorities from Germany and the Netherlands, to seize control of Hive’s servers and websites. This strategic move aims to halt Hive's operations, preventing further attacks and extortion against critical infrastructure and the economic foundation of multiple nations. The Role of International Collaboration The takedown of Hive's infrastructure signifies the importance of international cooperation in the fight against transnational organized crime. By joining forces with global partners, the U.S. is reinforcing its commitment to safeguarding its citizens and allies against the pervasive threat of ransomware.

Leveraging the TOCRP Initiative

The rewards are part of the Transnational Organized Crime Rewards Program (TOCRP), underscoring the U.S. government's dedication to disrupting global crime networks. Through TOCRP, the State Department bolsters law enforcement efforts, aiming to bring elusive criminals to justice and protect national and international security interests. How to Share Information Encouraging individuals with valuable information on Hive ransomware activities to come forward. The U.S. government assures confidentiality and protection for informants, providing a secure avenue for sharing intelligence that could lead to the dismantling of one of the most formidable ransomware groups in recent history.

A Call to Action Against Cybercrime

The U.S. government's announcement of rewards for information on the Hive ransomware group marks a critical step in the ongoing battle against cybercriminals. By incentivizing whistleblowers and enhancing collaborative law enforcement efforts, the U.S. and its allies demonstrate a unified front against the cyber threats that jeopardize global stability and security.

TW - HUMAN TRAFFICKING AWARENESS QUOTE 12

Wednesday, December 20, 2023

“Neither U.S. law nor international law requires that a trafficker or victim move across a border for a human trafficking offense to take place.  Trafficking in persons is a crime of exploitation and coercion, and not movement.  Traffickers can use schemes that take victims hundreds of miles away from their homes or exploit them in the same neighborhoods where they were born.” – Department of State, “About Human Trafficking”

On Tuesday, a Tennessee House panel rejected a push regarding the removal of a judge for expanding absentee voting in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, siding with prominent attorneys who warned the ouster would be an unprecedented breach of judicial independence.

Well, I finally heard back from the United States Department of State today regarding my passport application. The results were not what I expected. I was waiting on my passport. My application is denied, because I owe child support. TO ALL OF MY FOREIGN FRIENDS(which is 90% of you guys), Americans like myself are experiencing difficulties just like you regarding passports to travel to different nations. This is a big setback for me, because I have many reasons that I need a passport and visa. I will not be able to obtain either one, because I am over $22,000+ U.S. dollars behind in child support. You can read this document here. It does not say how much I owe, however, I know how much I owe. This also prevents me from working in Toronto so I can be part of a hotel cleanup crew. Hey, I'm not too proud to do that, because that would have gotten myself at least one foot in the door to begin living in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This also sets me back from meeting the man of my choice to meet abroad, marry, start a family, and more. And, that is just the beginning!! Just sharing the news. Many of you guys are "dreamers" like me: however, I am part of the percentage of dreamers, who do more than just dream: we have faith and act upon our dreams to make them happen. #denialofpassport#igotdenied#myapplicationwasdenied #nopassports #theysaidnopassport#passportdenied #departmentofstate #deparmentofstatesaidno#nopassportifyouowechildsupport#iowechildsuport#womenwhoowechildsupport#ihavearightto #ihavearighttotravel#ihavearighttotraveltheworld#ihavearighttolivemylifethewayiwanttoliveit#ihavearighttolivemylife #daretodreamfarms (at Arlington, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEDoaMFll5R/?igshid=xa06zb69muey

hkladyliberty 《美國之音》報導，在4月14日美國國務院高級官員與香港人權倡議者及專家召開約一個小時的視像圓桌會議，與會者之一的香港民主委員會（Hong Kong Democracy Council）顧問張崑陽指，在會議中有人提出美國應該要制裁《香港國安法》下的指定法官。美國國務院民主、人權和勞工局代理首席助理副部長布斯比（Scott Busby）和美國國務院亞太事務副助卿華自強（Rick Waters）出席了上述會議，除了討論上月底國務院發表的《香港政策法》（Hong Kong Policy Act ）周年報告，他們強調美國繼續捍衛香港人的權利和自由。參與了會議的張崑陽說，與會的香港人權倡議者都表示，香港已經再無司法獨立。在《香港國安法》下，國家安全罪行案件需要由“指定法官”進行審理。有提出很多案例都證明了《國安法》法官，他們提出的一些法律上的理據，都不是一些傳統普通法。美國國務院官員回應會考慮相關論點，然後再從長計議。美國罕有制裁外國法官，最近一次在2017年，委內瑞拉親政府的最高法院強行解散了當地民選的國會，特朗普政府制裁了8名當地的最高法院法官。美國國務院發言人說，圓桌會議旨在了解香港目前的人權狀況，以及聆聽與會者的建議，讓美國和國際社會了解如何採取應對措施。美國將會繼續向中國和香港政府表示關注，並繼續提倡中方承諾給予香港的高度自治，以及香港人的權利和自由。 ━－━－━－━－━－━－━－━ 📚 《時代革命》電影訪談錄現已上架：https://bit.ly/3iUjwNs ▼贊助「香港民主女神 Lady Liberty HK」團隊工作▼ ▌網店：https://ladylibertyhongkong.com/ ▌Instagram：www.instagram.com/hkladyliberty/ #SunnyCheung #張崑陽 #國安法 #國安法指定法官 #美國國務院 #departmentofstates #美國國務院 #制裁 #sanction #香港民主委員會 #司法獨立 #人權查看全部 8 則留言 than_nj10 記得李家超、鄧炳強之流當日被制裁口口聲聲話係榮幸，但轉個頭又立法唔准人呼籲外國咁做，真係口裡說不 hkladyliberty 呢個係口裡說好，身體欲很抗拒😂 https://www.instagram.com/p/CctvRcSPexk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
